Biography:
The first time I ever saw a live band, I figured the people in the band were having more fun than the people watching, and once the Beatles came along the deal was sealed - I had to learn to play guitar. Actually, I was writing songs before I could play an instrument, and I would sing them to my sister to see if I had a hit.
I've had small successes and some near misses, but I keep writing because I love to write. One of my biggest thrills was sharing the stage with Randy Bachmann at a Bluebird North in Vancouver.
